A Restaurant of Legend:
- Originally opened in 1922, Tam O'Shanter is one of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles, and was designed with a storybook, Old English/Scottish village look, with crooked beams, cozy fireplaces, and hand-painted murals inspired by the Tam O’ Shanter poem.
- Walt Disney himself was a regular there in the 1930s and 1940s, to a point where he had a favorite table, which the restaurant still preserves today.
- He would often bring his animators and artists from the early studio to relax, eat, and sketch ideas. As such, some credit Tam O'Shanter as the inspiration behind the earlier shorts and features, with that old-world European style.
- Today, guests can sit at Walt's Table (Table 31), check out original art by animators including plenty of caricatures, and enjoy some menu favorites specifically with a Disney touch.
